Awesome. Three Mooseheads including Fournier? I'll never forget the night he stood up for Mackinnon and fought a guy, Mackinnon goes to high five him and he hugs him. Whole crowd starts chanting "Fournier! Fournier! Fournier!"
Would love to see him someday make the NHL.
I loved this moment! It was in Game 2 of the QMJHL Finals and was a really emotionally charged game for everyone as it had the potential for it to be the last game that the Mooseheads played at home (as it turned out, they lost game 3 and ended up winning on home ice in Game 5).
This video shows both his goal from that game and when he stood up for Nate. After they finish showing the replays of the goal, watch the top of the screen to see Nate getting roughed up and Fournier jump in. It doesn't capture the chant, though, which is too bad.
He was a real fan favourite the one year he was here - we're all going to miss him next season. The end of
this video shows the crowd erupting when he was named first star (in shorts and a tee because he got ejected after the fight). It pretty much sums up how people think of him in Halifax. He's a bit of a long-shot for the pros as he's not the greatest skater but he's all heart and will do anything to help his team win. I'm so happy that the Habs are giving him a shot.
This goal at the Memorial Cup is typical of how he scores - no one can move him from the front of the net and he's pretty agile even with a bunch of guys on top of him. A lot of people don't realize that it was Fournier - not Mack, Drouin, or Frk - who scored the most goals in the playoffs for Halifax.
Special bonus: He's also famous for giving Drouin a
mid-celly smack on the lips.
